Long story short, arcade managers are always skeptical about buying a machine that they're not sure is going to do well.

I wanted to give our manager here at our local arcade a bit of a push to buy one, so I made a deal with him. I said "If I can get the insides for HAPPY SKY, will you find a cabinet to put it in?", and he said "Sure, let's give it a try."

So I got my friend in Hiroshima to pick up one for me and send it my way. We had a lot of trouble locating a 9th+ machine at a good price (and not so far away) ANNDD because I'm supposed to be moving, I would never get to play on it

While it would be nice to give my fellow Winnipeggers a chance to have a IIDX arcade cabinet, I can't afford to be giving them something that cost me quite a bit of my own money.

That means as long as everything goes as planned for my move, it's comin' with me!
